5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for expecting Christian parents., August 5, 2007

This review is from: The Best-Ever Christian Baby Name Book: Thousands of Names and Their Meanings (Paperback)

The Best-Ever Christian Baby Name Book: Thousand of Names and Their Meanings is a guide especially for Christian parents, offering thousands of names to choose from, their alternate spellings, and innate meaning. The Best-Ever Christian Baby Name Book deliberately avoids names with a non-Christian connotation (such as names connected to other pantheons or faith traditions) except in those cases when such names are also Biblical names. Thumbnail biographies of famous Christians or humanitarians for whom children can be named dot the entries, and an introductory section guides Christian parents in how to choose a child's name. "Several years ago a friend of mine mentioned that she had always dreamed of having a son named Nick... but when she married a man with the last name of Knack, she knew she had to forever abandon that dream." Highly recommended for expecting Christian parents.

This review is from: The Best-Ever Christian Baby Name Book: Thousands of Names and Their Meanings (Paperback)

I was very impressed with this baby name book. They have both common and more unusual Christian names. This is actually our main baby book we keep turning back to. My sister is having a baby herself, and was also very impressed with it. She has about 5 name books already, but still went out and bought a copy of this book for herself.
